He nicked that joke from I.T.Contractor.com

Actually I suppose it's a bit flattering for something on that site to get posted here

Illegal

Illegal
A late night bill last night, in the House of Commons, made it illegal for agencies to take money from clients for supplying IT Contractors.

It makes null and void every contract between IT Contractors, the agencies and the clients.

It doesn't make clear what happens now as tens of thousands of contracts up and down he land are suddenly invalidated.

Renegotiate

It is expected that the vast majority of clients will simply renegotiate with IT Contractors, coming to some kind of arrangement with the contractors.

Conractors are urged to do this immediately as their contracts become invalid on April 30th.
